- What The Bible Says About Persecution
- Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is
- the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and
- say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because
- great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets
- who were before you.
- Matthew 5:10-12
- But I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that
- you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil
- and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
- Matthew 5:44, 45
